Richard Schwartz and Associates wants to help clients who are unable to work due to a long-term disability and if you’re disabled you may be eligible to receive Social Security disability benefits. Our Social Security disability attorneys can help you file a disability claim and help resolve any issues that arise with your SSDI benefits.

The Social Security Administration is the government agency that determines whether or not you qualify for disability benefits. Our experienced Social Security disability lawyers can help you prepare the proper evidence and help you work through the disability benefits qualification process.

This paperwork may include the need for proof that you are disabled. If your disabling medical condition can be expected to last at least one year and causes you to be unable to work, your condition may appear on the Social Security Administration’s list of disabling conditions. Example include:

• Severe epilepsy
• Loss of vision
• Loss of hearing

If you have a disability that doesn’t appear on the list there is still a chance it can be considered disabling if you can prove the condition is equal in severity and duration to a listed impairment. The paperwork can be confusing enough but this is when having one of the expert workers comp attorneys at Richard Schwartz and Associates can help.

The Social Security Administration will consider your ability to perform basic work functions, such as sitting, standing, walking, lifting, reaching, communicating, using judgment, and responding to supervision in addition to the paperwork you fill out and any other proof that is needed.

Proving your disability may be a complex process. Not only can the lawyers at Richard Schwartz and Associates can help you fill out the necessary paperwork correctly, avoiding long delays due to improper filings, they can also make sure you are treated fairly and receive the compensation you deserve as quickly as possible.
